In its effort to get more people interested in Beer Camp, Sierra Nevada is sending out invitations, via a 24 ounce bottled beer.

West Coast Double IPA, is described as a Double India Pale Ale with "... 8.5% ABV and features five hop varieties, two of which went into Sierra Nevada’s “Hop Torpedo” dry-hopping device and impart hints of grapefruit and a floral note that recalls orange blossom. A light malt body and dry finish complement the bold hop profile"

“There will be a huge selection of great beers in every city we visit this summer, and we thought beer lovers would appreciate a glimpse of the fun to come with our own hopped-up invitation,”said Ken Grossman, founder of Sierra Nevada. “This is an IPA that’s West Coast in style, which is fitting since the whole pilgrimage kicks off here in California in just a few weeks.”

Released in limited quanities, throughout the West Coast (and wherever the Beer Camp Across America tour visits), one should be on the lookout for this beer.
